Lots of discussion here; is this an accurate summary of the discussed
behavior?

1) BUNDLE offerers must be able to receive on any port (until they get a
BUNDLE-compatible answer)
2) Once the answer is received, bundling is activated, and BUNDLEs use the
port of the first non-rejected m= line in the offer
2a) at this point, the other ports can be discarded
3) All m= lines offered in a BUNDLE must be present in the answer, unless
they are rejected
3a) no selective unbundling/BUNDLE splitting is permitted
